/View.info/ A drastic increase in the price of methane is expected. The price of a kilogram of methane may increase by up to 20% from the beginning of 2014. The reason is the increase in the excise tax, which will lead to an increase in prices by at least 30 cents. Adding VAT, the price increase reaches 20%.
In 2003, Brussels gave a 10-year period to introduce a rate on methane. Member States and those that joined later could choose to impose the excise duty either gradually or with a last-minute shock. The term is until the end of 2013.
However, the Ministry of Finance will ask Brussels for a delay so that there is no price shock.
